700 Sundays History
Billy Crystal has lots of devoted fans. The rapid multi-
million dollar advance sale for his solo Broadway
show 700 Sundays attests to that. And I feel pretty
certain that they are going to have a good time at this
comfortably low-key evening of jokes and
reminiscences, mostly about his jazz-loving father
(who died when Billy was 15), his heroic mother
(his word), who died just three years ago, and his
childhood in Long Beach, Long Island, where he
played basketball, thought a lot about girls, and
dreamed (briefly) of being a Yankee.
It's sophomorically coarse: there are routines about
his genetalia, his grandfather's propensity for farting,
and his uncle mouthing profanities repeatedly on a
vintage family home movie. And, though Crystal
shares (for example) his grief and anger at his
father's untimely death, the level of discourse here is
entirely superficial: there's no incisive self-revelation
of the kind fellow Saturday Night Live alumnus Julia
Sweeney gave us in God Said, "Ha!"; no in-depth
exploration of a chosen career that's also a life's
passion such as Crystal's Soap co-star Jay Johnson
offered in The Two and Only.

Indeed, the main thing I got out of 700 Sundays was how self-indulgent this fellow seems to
be. He proclaims, with would-be disingenuousness, that at 53, when his mother died, he
became an orphan; the story preceding that announcement, all about how he had to do a show
in Seattle rather than stay by his dying mother's bedside, did not predispose me to feel
sympathetic. And the gnawing recollection that Crystal is charging his audience a hundred
bucks for the best seats to hear him kvell and kvetch didn't help matters any.
In fact, most of the
time during 700 Sundays I felt too keenly aware of a star walking through his own showcase.
There are a few inspired moments that feel authentic, like his first act closer, lip-synching
joyously and wittily to an old Spike Jones record, but they're few and far between. Set pieces
such as a very lengthy sketch in which he plays his Aunt Sheila, telling a girlfriend about her
lesbian daughter's recent commitment ceremony, are not only not that funny but unnecessarily
cruel: presumably this woman is still alive; does she need to be made such a figure of fun by
her wealthy and successful nephew? Plus there's a look-at-how-compassionate-I-am quality
to this and other pieces, perhaps an attempt to neutralize the Jackie Mason-style Jewish in-
jokes that otherwise pervade Crystal's monologues.

Anecdotes that should feel emotional fall flat, meanwhile; Crystal tells us how much he loves jazz, how much he loved his Dad, how much he thought his Mom was a hero. But he never shows us how he feels—a failure, perhaps, of Crystal the actor.
In the end, my reaction to 700 Sundays was principally boredom, compounded by at least a bit of consumer-advocate outrage that Crystal is charging his fans so much money to see him, not at his best, but at his mediocre middling. (Contrast with Comic Relief colleague Whoopi Goldberg, who is delivering a great deal of her signature stuff in her current Broadway stand; Crystal gives us ten seconds of Sammy Davis, Jr. singing "Hey, There" and that's about it.)
Now, none of this should matter to people who feel affection and/or kinship to this very popular comedian; I know what it means to be a fan, and criticism from the uninitiated always feels beside the point. But to those who aren't diehard members of the Crystal camp, a word to the wise: there may be many more entertaining ways to spend a night out on Broadway than to sit through 700 Sundays.
